Nowadays, monitoring is very important. Why is that? Because applications become more and more complicated. But not only applications—infrastructure becomes complicated too. Some companies are moving to the cloud; others are building hybrid infrastructure. And if some pieces of infrastructure are in the cloud while others are on-premises, this creates even more unclarity on how to get an overview of the infrastructure as a whole.

For a successful cloud migration, creating (and later refining), a cloud migration strategy tailored to your organization’s goals, available resources, workloads, and priorities is an absolute necessity. So here, we’ll take a look at a simple list of the areas you’ll need to quantify and understand to build that strategy and then improve it as you move forward through the cloud migration process.

The pursuit of Digital Transformation and DevOps practices has led to several benefits such as increased deployment rates and better collaboration across teams. However, it has also led to endless abstraction, an increase in responsibilities, and many new tools (Kubernetes, hybrid-clouds and all their services, etc.). This increase in complexity has turned observability into an essential component of all ecosystems.

Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) are major inhibitors for organizations moving to the cloud—and for good reason. Cloud environments are complex, and even a single misconfigured security group can result in a serious data breach. In fact, misconfigurations were the leading cause of cloud security breaches in 2020. This puts a lot of pressure on developer and operations teams to properly secure their services and maintain regulatory compliance.

Oh no. Your website is down. And regardless of what time it is we guarantee it’s not a convenient time for your website to crash.
